SKSG Grootegast

Welcome to SKSG Grootegast, the daycare center in the heart of Grootegast where we provide children aged 0 to 4 with a safe and stimulating environment to grow and develop. Our daycare is part of SKSG, the largest childcare organization in Northern Netherlands with over 100 locations in Groningen and the Westerkwartier region. Our mission is to provide equal opportunities for all children. Our location at Hoofdstraat 81 offers care in two horizontal groups: Jodocus 0-2 for babies and toddlers up to 2 years old, and Jodocus 2-4 for preschoolers aged 2 to 4. The baby group accommodates up to 12 children with three qualified childcare professionals, following the Emmi Pikler approach. This respectful care method supports your child's natural development. We offer 41 and 52-week childcare contracts, flexible care options, and extended care when there's sufficient demand. We're open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Our educational program focuses on six pillars: Sports and Movement, Cooking and Nutrition, Nature and Sustainability, Science and Technology, Arts and Culture, and Hello World! These themes are integrated into our daily activities. Children can choose from various development-oriented activities including Pyramid program activities, free play indoors and outdoors, cooking and baking, creative arts, and nature education. We regularly organize excursions to places like petting zoos or barefoot paths. For toddlers with a VVE (preschool education) indication, we provide additional early childhood education. Our qualified childcare staff have experience with both baby and toddler groups. We maintain consistent daily routines that provide children with structure and security. Parents can participate in our parent committee and we always welcome personal conversations about your child's development.
